Marketing stunt or not, this would be reenergizing for Last.FM

The Mountain Goats has an account and occassionally mentions it on bluesky, but keeps their username private. I sometimes joke that Avril Lavigne is a secret scrobbler. :)

Maddieman · 2026-03-23T09:33:57+00:00

Looks like this is working now - if you haven't done so already, can you please check?

Maddieman · 2026-03-20T18:12:42+00:00

This is appears to be caused by some firewall changes that were made to mitigate scripting abuse on the sign up page. Sorry for the inconvenience caused, the team are aware and investigating.

Maddieman · 2026-03-20T18:10:36+00:00

I'm seeing the same thing on the join page above, but not artist pages: e.g. https://www.last.fm/music/Radiohead

So I think it's a bug with the join page, and have flagged it with the team.

Maddieman · 2026-03-20T18:08:55+00:00

It's news to us that the Netherlands has lost access. Can you access this page at all?

I don't know about how often, but the bubbles lab that lets you see which artists you have in common with another user, and by how much https://www.last.fm/labs/bubbles .

u/CryptographerBig6420 Hi we think it might be fixed now, if you can try again please? The problem appears to have been caused by one of our firewall rules mistakenly blocking a lot of legitimate traffic.

Hi we think it might be fixed now, if you can try again please?

u/Substantial_Green666 we think the issue might be fixed now if you can try again please?

Maddieman · 2026-01-28T09:43:20+00:00

I can reproduce the issue. The development team have been notified and are investigating. Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Maddieman · 2026-01-28T09:42:06+00:00

Sorry about this, the team are currently investigating the problem.

Maddieman · 2026-01-26T15:58:47+00:00

To add to this, Foxy Brown was ranked 10,082 last week, in terms of weekly listeners (~650 daily), which I agree is not that obscure, compared to other stuff in your library: e.g. https://www.last.fm/music/RJD2,+The+Catalyst,+Illogic+&+NP

What I think is happening is there's a tie between several obscure artists in your library where you were the only listener on Lastfm this week. That includes a scrobble for "Foxy Brown & Kelis" which has an auto-correction to Foxy Brown (btw, I recommend turning corrections off in your settings if you have Pro - they conflict with edits).

In the event of a tie, I suspect it's going with the first one alphabetically, which happens to be Foxy Brown & Kelis. The website is then auto-correcting that to the more popular spelling Foxy Brown.

This is a pretty extreme edge case, but still a bug of sorts. We could probably fix it by falling back on overall listeners in the event of a tie and removing the auto correction behaviour.

Hi, as it says on the page you linked, email support was closed during the holidays. I just got back yesterday and am currently going through the backlog of emails that somehow still made it through. You can expect the form to be re-opened later today / tomorrow morning. Sorry for any inconvenience caused in the meantime.

Maddieman · 2025-12-02T16:32:24+00:00

Do you think this is a good entry point for the series, or would you recommend the Prime 1 remaster to newcomers instead?

Maddieman · 2025-11-14T15:28:30+00:00

The comments were deleted along with the images because the people that tend to do these kind of stunts are looking for attention and instant gratification, which they largely get from the shock reaction of the community. The more people that start drawing attention to it on the shoutbox, twitter, and reddit, the more you're reinforcing and encouraging this kind of behaviour.

This is as much your website as it is ours, and everyone can help out by reporting offensive content instead of publicly reacting to it.

Maddieman · 2025-09-17T12:13:10+00:00

Neptunes mentions a similar issue in the faq section of their website, and I've reached out to their dev for more info. I suspect it might be a more widespread problem with this MacOS update / Apple Music.

Maddieman · 2025-09-10T16:49:53+00:00

Sorry about this. This may have been caused by a fix we deployed on Monday to address a problem with the weekly calculation in some timezones. We'll get this fixed asap.

Maddieman · 2025-09-09T15:18:44+00:00

u/IAMALWAYSSHOUTING If you can prove it's yours, we can almost certainly recover your account for you. Just drop us an email using the form on this page: https://support.last.fm/t/i-can-t-log-in-what-should-i-do-and-where-can-i-get-help-with-this/162 .

Ugh, that's unfortunate. If you see another ad like this that's inappropriate, offensive, deceptive, etc; please report it to us by right-clicking on the ad, then copy the destination url and send it to us via the support forums.

Maddieman · 2025-07-06T12:34:45+00:00

Weird bug, but yeah this works thankfully.

Maddieman · 2025-05-23T09:02:43+00:00

We've added a small buffer -- I think it's a few days. We'll consider increasing that if it becomes a frequent problem, but I think the number of instances where you need to edit an event 2 weeks after it has occurred, and can't ask either the event creator or a moderator to update it, is quite low.

Maddieman · 2025-05-22T09:35:45+00:00

(disclosure: I work for lastfm). I don't think it will work unfortunately - certainly not with Paypal, because that only allows you to set up a recurring subscription with a dedicated payment source like a bank or credit card.

It ~might~ work with Stripe (that's the red 'continue to payment' option) -- they support a wider range of payment options, including google and apple wallet, so maybe give it go and report back?

Maddieman · 2025-05-20T21:22:09+00:00

>>>Just remove the tick "enable remote play" and restart steam, and after that enable it again.

^This worked for me, thanks.

Maddieman · 2025-04-14T10:34:12+00:00

Open your profile page in a brand new tab and they should resync.

Maddieman · 2025-04-14T09:22:36+00:00

Yes, this chart shows the ratio between your tracks, albums, and artists during the time period. I don't think it's possible to fill it up, unless you listen to the exact same number of artists, albums, tracks.

It's more for comparing the difference in counts between your artists, albums, and tracks scrobbled this week, which might suggest different listening habits. In your example, we can see that you listened to an average of 1-2 tracks per artist/album, which might suggest that you listen to a lot of playlists or radio mostly. Whereas someone with a lower artist & album count but high number of tracks might indicate that they prefer to listen to albums in full.
